Pokemon Day 2025 may have passed, but The Pokemon Company continues to delight fans with exciting new content. A fresh event in *Pokemon GO* introduces the adorable yet formidable Kubfu to the game. Here's your guide on how to catch Kubfu in *Pokemon GO*.
How To Catch Kubfu in Pokemon GO
The Might and Mastery event is currently live in Pokemon GO, bringing a host of new features to the mobile game. The highlight, however, is the much-anticipated arrival of the Wushu Pokemon, Kubfu. Fans have eagerly awaited the inclusion of Kubfu and its evolution, Urshifu, ever since their debut in the Pokemon Sword and Shield DLC. Now, the wait is over, and you can secure your own Kubfu by completing a few tasks.
To catch Kubfu in Pokemon GO, navigate to your Special Research tab and locate the "Might and Mastery" section. Here, you'll find all the challenges you need to complete. For those who want to get a head start, here's the complete list of tasks:
| **Research Task** | **Reward** |
| Explore 3 km | 15 Poke Balls |
| Defeat 3 Team GO Rocket members | 5 Revives |
| Use a supereffective Charged Attack | Use a super effective Charged Attack |
Once you've completed all three tasks, Kubfu will appear, and you'll earn 891 XP as you add this Pokemon to your collection. Remember, the Special Research is only available until Tuesday, June 3, 2025, at 9:59 AM local time, so don't miss your chance to catch Kubfu.
Can You Catch More Than One Kubfu in Pokemon GO?
For those who want more than one Kubfu, Pokemon GO has you covered with the Paid Special Research – Fuzzy Fighter pass. For $8, you can access additional Research tasks and the opportunity to catch a second Kubfu. The pass also offers the following rewards:
- One Incense
- Two Premium Battle Passes

However, the Fuzzy Fighter pass is only available for purchase until March 10, 2025, at 10 AM local time. Once purchased, the tasks remain in the game, so there's no rush to complete them immediately.
